Measuring for: Classic & Faux Wooden Venetian blinds, Next Day Wooden Venetian Blinds & Aluminium

Measuring your windows is not a difficult task. Follow the instructions to ensure a good fit for your blinds. Please measure in centimetres (cm).

Before you start to measure you must first decide whether you would like your blind to hang inside or outside the window recess. 

Then follow the appropriate instructions below:

Inside window recess

How to Measure (Inside the recess):

  1. Measure the width in 3 different positions inside the window recess from wall to wall. Measure on the left, the middle and the right. The most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
  2. Measure the Drop (height) in 3 different positions inside the recess from the top of the recess to the window sill. Once again the most important measurement to write down is the largest one.
  3. Now key these values in the measurements section when ordering blinds from Cheapest Blinds & Interiors and select the inside window recess fitting position option. This means we make a deduction to the width measurement of your blind to ensure they fit perfectly.

Outside window recess

  2. Measure the drop (height) of your window and add at least 7.5cm to allow for overlap.
  3. Remember to enter your sizes as Exact size when ordering for outside recess this will mean the blind will be made to your precise measurements.
